The success of Integrated will be assured and driven by the inclusion of a number of core competencies

Design:Our team will include engineers and technicians who understand existing and future alternative energy technologies, how they work, and how to make them work to achieve specific goals. They will be driven to keep abreast of the technology, and eager to apply the newest and most suitable practical technologies to the process. They are well able to balance form, function, cost and reliability to arrive at a superior technical solution.

Architecture:Having a team of architects that are not only competent at home and building design, but are knowledgeable about alternative energy systems and equipment, how to modify and integrate it to fit in with the building design, and passionate about the process. The architects work hand in hand with the design engineers and technicians to incorporate new technologies, and ensure that what is created will not only serve the purpose, but do so elegantly.

Financing:A team of financial experts, well versed in mortgage and consumer financing, cost balancing, taxes, and investment calculations. These experts will keep constantly appraised of the entire array of financial instruments, as well as programs, grants, credits and subsidies available to help the customer meet their goals.

Landscape designersWhile the roof remains a prime spot for collectors, many systems will rely on arrays placed within the landscape. Either on the ground, as a part of planters, or mounted on poles. Higher output systems especially will benefit from these placements. Tracking systems need to be on poles or the equivalent. Having professional landscape architects on staff to integrate these systems into the surroundings, and to turn a potentially unsightly system into a key part of the landscape, is a major part of the services we provide.

Regulatory EngineersThe vast array of regulatory requirements, licensing, permits, and variations can be daunting. By employing a team who specialize in cutting through this red tape, and in satisfying the various requirements, the viability of your system is assured, as well as knowledge that the system will meet your needs, not buckle to the weight of regulatory requirements. These experts are also well versed in, and available to negotiate with zoning boards, architectural committees and homeowners associations to ensure you will be able to install your system.

EngineersOf course, having an in house team of electrical and mechanical engineers is key to designing systems that function well, produce the highest benefits, and last a long time. They are an integral part of our design team.

Energy specialistsThese team players are specialists in energy. Consisting of primarily certified CEMs, they are a key part of the energy audit process, as well as the sizing of systems, and the selection of technologies.

Technicians and BuildersOf course, all of the design expertise relies on professional and highly skilled people to put it all together and make it work. Comprised of electricians, carpenters, contractors, and building specialists, our install teams will bring your dreams to life, and, by practicing the highest standards of workmanship and quality, ensure the system will perform it's function seamlessly for a long time.

Marketing/EducationOur marketing should be focused around awareness and education. Making consumers aware of the alternatives, the financial viability's, and, of course, where to look into it more. As a green company, we should also promote the necessity of reducing the energy footprint, and the reduction of greenhouse gasses.

Company ManagementThe management team should be lean, and versatile. Being able to bring all these different arenas under one umbrella, and not only enable them to work together, but to foster a spirit of cooperation and adventure will be a key. The management should be well involved in day to day activities (on the shop floor if you will). They should be well versed in the underlying technologies, the market, the supply chain and government directions. They need to originate and sustain the company culture, and be involved at every level to maintain it. They need to encourage innovation, creativity, and a desire to excel by every single employee. They should as well be passionate about making a difference.

Company InfrastructureOf course, we will need a competent infrastructure to hold this all together. From logistics to the HR department. Everyone should believe in the company credo, strive for honesty, quality, and to maintain a creative, pleasant, and exciting workplace. IES intends to be in the forefront of an emerging and expanding new arena of technical progress. Every employee needs to feel wanted, appreciated and enabled. The infrastructure that supports them has to always be cognizant and supportive of that culture.
